Evidence
"A Talismanic Scroll: Language, Illumination, and Diagrams"
Remarks
Talismanic scrolls are characterized by the presence of 'Language, Illumination, and Diagrams' (p. 7). The cover illustration (LNS 12 MS V12) shows complex polychrome illumination including gold leaf or gold-colored pigment (p. 5). Application can involve ritual procedures where a specialist 'invests the object with special powers' (p. 16).
